Resetting the admin password in Elementary OS involves accessing the system in recovery mode. Begin by restarting your computer and entering the bootloader menu, usually by pressing a specific key like Esc or Shift during startup. From the bootloader, select the recovery mode option to boot into a special environment with administrative privileges.

Once in recovery mode, access a root shell prompt. From here, you can use a command to reset the admin password. Make sure the new password is strong and adheres to security best practices. After resetting the password, reboot the system to return to normal operation.

When the system restarts, you can log in using the updated admin password. This process is essential for regaining access if the admin password is forgotten or needs to be changed for security reasons.
